In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2012 (October 2012), let's "Illuminate America" by dedicating the White House, a symbol of our nation's foundations, to the cause.
"Illuminating the White House in Purple" is a movement intended to honor the victims of and raise awareness for the Domestic Violence epidemic, to promote a future without violence.
Together we stand. Collectively we dream.
An America: DV-free.
